ANIMAL FOLK TALES OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND

The natural world and the stories we tell about it are part of our common inheritance. This collection of British and Irish folk tales aims to rekindle our sense of wonder in our native wildlife. Charming, quirky and profound, the stories invoke creatures that have made these islands their home within living memory, others we see every day yet never reflect upon, and once common animals which have returned after many years' absence to reclaim their right to roam.
